The genome sequence of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa

James E. Galagan, +77 more
- 24 Apr 2003 - 
TL;DR: A high-quality draft sequence of the N. crassa genome is reported, suggesting that RIP has had a profound impact on genome evolution, greatly slowing the creation of new genes through genomic duplication and resulting in a genome with an unusually low proportion of closely related genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of RNA structure in regulating pre-mRNA splicing

TL;DR: The role of RNA structure deserves more consideration when thinking about splicing mechanisms, as it can inhibit or aid binding of spliceosomal components to the pre-mRNA, or can increase splicing efficiency by bringing important sequences into close proximity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pentamidine reverses the splicing defects associated with myotonic dystrophy

TL;DR: Pentamidine was able to reverse the missplicing of 2 pre-mRNAs affected in DM, whereas neomycin B had no effect, and pentamidine significantly reduced the formation of ribonuclear foci in tissue culture cells, releasing MBNL1 from the focuses in the treated cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

MBNL binds similar RNA structures in the CUG repeats of myotonic dystrophy and its pre-mRNA substrate cardiac troponin T

TL;DR: In vivo splicing results indicate that MBNL-regulated splicing is dependent upon the formation of stem–loops recognized by MBNL, and results suggest thatMBNL may bind all of its RNA substrates, both normal and pathogenic, as structured stem-loops containing pyrimidine mismatches.
Journal ArticleDOI

The structural basis of myotonic dystrophy from the crystal structure of CUG repeats

TL;DR: To better understand the structural basis of DM type 1, the x-ray crystal structure of an 18-bp RNA containing six CUG repeats was determined to 1.58-A resolution, providing a high-resolution view of a toxic, trinucleotide repeat RNA.
